oh, also, put a lot of Twinklets stuff on e*bay. i was saving it to give to a friend if she has a girl, but it thought, ya know what..i had to spend out for stuff so i may as well try and get some bits back.

if they dont sell then i can put them back in the bag for her.

cheeky cashback back from q*idco.

this has paid for mine & the hubs' coach tickets to a festival in the summer. this is definitly the cheaper option for us as usually we would drive, stay over. so us getting a coach is the money saving way

got my pay slip today..what a tease, ready for pay day tomorrow.

im very happy as this month i get 6 weeks wage, AND my child care vouchers have started this month rather than next month as i expected.

so rejigged and will be able to make a proper dent on my credit card. its such a good feeling. no more minimum payments!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

PAYDAY!!!!!!!!

paid £380 onto my credit card (have got used to paying £60/£80 kinda mark)
put £150 into savings
send the childcare voucher money and paid the rest of the month for the child minder
paid money into bill account
and STILL have money in my bank! hurrah.

i will be paying more on to my credit card & more into savings through out the month as an when hubs gives me his money each week. but as a first pay day i think ive been sensible and paid a fair wack. im pretty pleased

paid anothe r£20 onto my card. my weekend wasnt as expesinve as i thought it would be so put the left over weekend budget on to my card

lurvlyloz

another little payment. £10 off.

Gran gave me £100 for my birthday so thats going to be our spending money for the weekend away at the lodge. off to sainsburys this evening to buy the food shop so shouldnt end up spending the full £100 as taking as much with as possible which is already budgeted for.

hubs has had a bad pay this week so might have to transfer some money into his account for his dds but should be a betetr pay this or next friday.

im trying to keep as much money in my account as possible so next week i can add some more to my credit card. i dont want to do it straight out & leave my self short if hubs isnt gonna be putting any money into my account. all a juggling act
but i also am not spending it on silly bits which helps

up & down Tinka

weeekend away was LOVELY! just a ncie break. and very low spend.

I am away again this weekend ut as i didnt spend my whole budget for this past weekend i should be fine for this next weekend.
I've paid another credit card payment. and hopefully will be able to pay a bit more off this time next week, how much will depend on the weekend.

with no council tax this month and there being a problem with my dd for my car insurance resulting in me having to pay it on my card that i had at the time (my normalk debit card) rather than bill car... i have been able to pay another £140 off my credit card. that means since switching to the halifax credit card, ive managed to pay £605.38 in under a month. BOOM!

im glad its becoing an obbsession for me again it makes me more determined. just like saving to cover mat leave was...this has now taken over.

i cant wait to be in the £5k. onlys £250 to go til that little miles stone. but as i started in the £9ksi think its a hguge step
